Agenda Wallet Makeover

[travelbug]

Sooo I know that mid-November is kind of late to decide that it's time to get organized and have an agenda, but on the upside you can say that it's better late than never 

I couldn't find anything that I liked at Staples, so I ended up buying a cheap, plastic agenda. I've got lots of scrap fabric lying around and I found a piece that was big enough for the outside piece.

I decided to eyeball the size of the agenda cover and it ended up being too big so I had to sew some extra seams at the top and the bottom of the agenda to make it more snug:



It closes with a magnetic snap:



Another ooops  the flaps of the agenda cover weren't large enough to hold it in. I used a piece of elastic, sewn in the middle of the organizer that I could then slip the back of the agenda underneath so that it won't fall out:



Here is a pic of the original plastic agenda:



Now I'm all set until December 31st.....2008 hehe.

Very cute! Instead of being late for 2008, just say you're getting a head start on being organized for 2009. =)
